Jenkins took $150 million and made WW which made well over $800 million and followed it up with $200 million to make WW84.
At the end of the day it's a business but if the first Wonder Woman made as much as BR2049 I guarantee she wouldn't be given $165 million to make her next movie.

Though it effectively puts Jenkins in the same directorial category as Michael Bay; i.e., we'll keep giving you large budgets regardless of how good the movies you make are as long as they continue to perform at the box office.
